more simple joys

a post to come with pictures of our holiday, but we've had the chance to be lazy (said, luh-huh-AA-zee) bones & to just hang out together--and it has been absolutely blissful. 

i clearly love one boy & two dogs more than any person should, but the calm, quiet stillness of this weekend has been a sweet reminder of the simple joys i often overlook.  the random details of life that make me smile...

- sleeping in - holding hands - time for quiet prayer - eyes that sparkle & wink - getting carried away - diet cokes with lime - health - having friends & family worth adoring - inside jokes - fireplaces - patios - being 'little girl ticklish' - drinks with umbrellas - paper lanterns - being too casual for the drama of Dallas - snuggling - romance - candlelight- flowerbeds - Texas wind in my face - oatmeal pancakes - flavored coffee - sarcasm - whispering - trashy magazines - lipstick - hugs - faith - daydreams - sweet friends - having my hair washed - laughing out loud - frozen bananas - splenda - a good run - catching people off guard - being unsuspected - drives with the windows down - singing with the radio - being clumsy in high heels - flying - making cobbler - eating with friends - highschool football - painting my fingernails - dresses - pallet night with grandma's quilt - watching movies - gumball machines - RL's enthusiasm - pictures - bubble baths - writing in the steam on the shower walls - being grateful - being content - knowing we're blessed -
